Parking

10 milers will be asked to park in one of the parking lots along 103rd or 188th – so that they can leave before the 50k run is complete and not impact runners.

50k runners can park in the O Space parking lot (nearest start/finish area). If you plan to finish/leave early – then one of the parking lots along 103rd or 188th is your best bet.

Please consider carpooling – as parking is limited.

Getting to Vashon Island

Vashon Island is only accessible by ferry boat. You can walk or drive onto the Washington State Ferries that service Vashon. We recommend you drive or plan to carpool if you walk on. The ferry is a really fun way to commute to Vashon. You can get out of your car and enjoy the beautiful crossing of the Puget Sound. But it is important that you plan ahead so that you are not stuck in the ferry line or on the boat as race time approaches!

Recommended boats are as follows:

From West Seattle/Fauntleroy – 50k runners your last ferry is at 7:35 am (6:05 or 6:55 am recommended);
From Tacoma – 50k runners your last ferry is at 7:35 am (6:45 am recommended);
From Southworth – – 50k runners your last ferry is at 7:40 am (6:05 or 6:50 am recommended).
Beware of over-loads and to be safe take the recommended ferry, carpooling is also recommended. If you cannot drive onto the “last ferry” due to over-loads, walk on and ask for a ride/hitch-hike with other racers on the boat.

10 Milers, while you have an extra hour to get to the start finish – beware that Saturday morning ferries coming to Vashon in Summer months tend to overload the later in the day you get. We highly recommend you catch the last boat for 50k folks.
